Hexagram 58 is a hexagram symbolic of both intenseness and self-reflection. In the image, one joins one's business with businesses of others and thus speeds up the process of selling; increases one's market through joint ventures. (establishing a degree of intenseness). Contextually we combine compromise and mirroring to achieve joyousness & intensity.
The changing line 6 associates this hexagram with hexagram 43 which involves spreading the word.
Hexagram 58 is the specific form of hexagram 18
The raw context from which the situation derives is described by hexagram 06 compromising. It passes through hexagram 38 Opposing/Mirroring before reaching here.
By introducing this hexagram as context, you can change a state described by any other hexagram into a state described by hexagram 10. To make a state associated with another hexagram transform into this state, introduce hexagram 10 as context.
It is important to remember that, when using transformative methods, the more lines requiring change, the more energy required when attempting to introduce a different context. It may therefore be of benefit to work on existing changing lines and achieve your goal in steps rather than attempt, for example, a six-line change all at once.
